Clara LAMA assures the readers of the Jour

grapes with ones fingers. Ultra fashionables,
she says, would as soon think of gnawing a

featured in heavily embossed silver and lined
with gold. 1t looks like a couple of thimbles and
a minute pair of tongs combined. The thimbles

say whether this fad will be Of long duration.
Probably not, because crapeholders are incon-

event fashions of this kind are harmless, and,

sew draperies and lace ruff1es on their trousers
